The first indiscretions on Mediatek Dimensity 9500 that promises monstrous performance

A little less than a month after the official debut of the Mediatek Dimensity 9400+, the Taiwanese company returns to be talked about with a decidedly interesting new anticipation; Let’s talk about the future MediaTek Dimensity 9500a SoC that, according to what is trapped, could mark a new generational leap in the Android field, both on the performance front and on that of energy efficiency, thanks to a renewed design of the cores, a completely redesigned GPU and above all, to a latest generation production process.

So let’s see in detail all the innovations emerged so far on what promises to become the real flagship of the Mediatek offer for the end of 2025.

Core Cortex-X930 and enhanced architecture for MediaTek Dimensity 9500

According to the well-known Leaker Digital Chat Station, the new MediaTek Dimensity 9500 will adopt a completely revised octa-core configuration, structured around Four Cortex-X930 cores of which a high performance “first” (Travis Code Code) and three “performances” (high code name), supported by Four Cortex-A730 cores (Code Code Gelas), designed to manage the lightest workloads with maximum efficiency.

It is an unprecedented configuration, which clearly lets the ambitions of the Taiwanese giant clearly intuition: to overcome Qualcomm also on the ground of pure architecture, with a SoC built to excel both in single-core and in multi-core, with particular attention to the performances supported.

GPU Immortalis-drage and Ray Tracing improved

Next to the new CPU, Mediatek has also designed one GPU Immortalis-dragealso based on a completely new micro -architecture; Even if the technical details are still limited, rumors speak of Ray Tracing performance significantly improvedan optimized energy efficiency and a higher graphic rendering also in advanced gaming contexts, in line with what was already seen (and promised) by Arm for the next generation of GPU Mobile.

The jump with respect to the current Immortalis-G720 therefore promises to be remarkable, also because they are accompanied by an L3 cache of 16 MB and a 10 MB SLC cacheagainst the 12 MB of the previous generation; An increase that should reflect both in real -time performance and in the management of low latency memory.

MediaTek puts artificial intelligence in the center

One of the aspects on which Mediatek seems to want to aim stronger is artificial intelligence, now key component of any mobile experience, especially in light of the growing diffusion of generative IA functions.

On board the Dimensity 9500 we will find one New NPU 9.0 capable of touching the milestone of 100 tops (Tera Operations for Second), a remarkable value. The aim is clear, allowing the IA processing directly on-device, reducing latency and guaranteeing greater privacy and reactivity, in perfect edge computing style.

Even faster memories and UFS 4.1 support to 4 lanes

On the memories front, dimensity 9500 will continue to adopt the LPDDR5X at high speed (up to 10,667 Mbps), joined this time by one 4.1 storage 4.1 with 4 lanesa novelty that could offer a significant boost in reading and writing operations, charging and installations.

This is a faster solution even of the UFS 4.0 + MCQ used on 9400+, and which confirms MediaTek’s will to further raise the bar of the Android flagship segment.

3 Nm TSMC production process for efficiency and top performance

The other great change, perhaps the most impactful in terms of efficiency, concerns the production node chosen for Dimensity 9500, which will be the 3 Nm TSMC N3Pan advanced process that should guarantee an important step forward compared to the 4 Nm employed on the dimensity 9400+.

In practical terms, a Best balance between performance, autonomy and temperaturesa crucial factor for top -of -the -range smartphones increasingly thin and powerful.

When will Mediatek Dimensity 9500 arrive?

According to Digital Chat Station, the commercial debut of the Dimensity 9500 should take place By October 2025in line with the traditional Roadmap Mediatek; In parallel, a new smartphone with 200 MP periscope based on this SoC would already be in advanced test, according to some clues, it could be the future Oppo Find X9 Ultra, which is also expected for the Q4 2025.

If the rumors were to find confirmation, the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 could apply fully like the most powerful and complete Android society of the end of 2025, bringing with it not only a net performance increase, but also a series of targeted improvements on IA, energy efficiency and graphics.

All that remains is to wait for the next few months to discover the first benchmarks, the first collaborations and obviously the first smartphones to integrate it.
